Responses (6) Zoloft and most SSRI / SNRI's take roughly one to two weeks to take effect. Some people experience a positive effect sooner, and some don't respond to the medication, and possibly the dosage needs to be increased, and or a different medication needs to be given a try. Thank you for your response.

These include: Red or maroon stool: referred to as hematochezia and may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding that originates from the colon.Red colored stool may also be a result of ingesting certain foods such as beets, rhubarb, radishes and turnips.lack stool: may indicate bleeding in the stomach or the upper part of the small intestine.

Answers from Michael F. Picco, M.D. Stool comes in a range of colors. All shades of brown and even green are considered normal. Only rarely does stool color indicate a potentially serious intestinal condition. Stool color is generally influenced by what you eat as well as by the amount of bile â a yellow-green fluid that digests fats â in your stool. As bile pigments travel through your gastrointestinal tract, they are chemically altered by enzymes â changing the pigments from green to brown.
